Class Description:: This course deals with the rise of populism around the world, and particularly in the United States. The course focuses on the transformations that have occurred in the American electorate in the wake of Donald Trump's surprising victory in 2016. It will focus on the special case of the white working class, including how its political preferences and identities have become a central focus of party competition and scholarly analysis. We will also focus on race and politics, and how racial attitudes and party identification may reinforce one another. This class should be of interest to anyone with an interest in the psychological, economic, and cultural underpinnings of ordinary Americans' political attitudes.
